Is it really possible to fall in love again with the same person after years together? We’re good, but it feels like the spark is fading.
Hey Jack, I totally get where you’re coming from. It’s super common for that initial spark to mellow after years together, but falling in love again? Absolutely possible. My friend and her partner hit that “routine fog” after about 6 years—so they started doing little things to mix it up, like surprise date nights or reminiscing over old photos. Sometimes just changing the scenery or sharing a new hobby helps revive that excitement.
For you two, maybe try planning something totally new—like a weekend getaway or cooking a recipe neither of you has tried before. Also, check in with each other about what you both want emotionally and honestly. Those real talks can reignite connection in unexpected ways.
What’s one fun thing you both used to do that you could bring back? Maybe start there! ![]()

Hey Jack, I really hear where you’re coming from—it’s totally normal for long-term relationships to go through phases where the spark dims a bit. The good news is, so many couples do find ways to rekindle that connection and fall in love all over again.
Sometimes just changing up your routine can make a big difference. Maybe you could plan a surprise date or just spend an evening talking about what first drew you to each other. Even something as simple as asking, “What’s something you’d love for us to try together?” can open up new fun or meaningful experiences.
If it feels tough to get started, sharing your feelings honestly might help: “Lately I miss the excitement we used to feel—maybe we can think of some new things to do together?” And hey, it’s also okay if you need outside support. Couples therapy can give you both the space to reconnect in a safe environment.
Little steps bring slow, lasting changes—new sparks can absolutely grow.
Sending calming vibes your way.
